FAQs - Getting Started
Do I need a floor display?
You do not absolutely require a floor display for your product. However, having a floor display will make selling to stores easier. The reason is because products on Sobeys local program are non-planogram - which means there is no pre-allocated space for your product. Space must be found for your product, in the proper department.
When you provide your own floor display - we only need to find an open space and the products get more attention from customers walking through the stores. Opening orders also tend to be larger as displays can fit more product.
Does LCG Foods help me sell to these stores?
Yes, for stores identified as priority - we can help sell. We have heard from Sobeys Local program that the store managers prefer to see brand owners pitch and support their product. Once the product is accepted in the store, LCG Foods will help to "service" the store - checking on stock levels, ensure items are well merchandized, and take re-orders. Upon acceptance into the Sobeys local program - you should request a strategy session by contacting [email protected]. We will help create a launch plan for you and ensure your launch is well coordinated.
